The sack dance begins

There is and there will be a range of reactions among liberals, blacks, and other minorities to the Obama advent:

• Some people, namely the MSM talking heads, are having and will keep having their continual on-air orgasm over the “amazing!”, “incredible!”, “Just 50 years ago we had separate water fountains!” event for an unspecified period of time until they’ve shot their bolt.

• Some people are happy and cheerful, uplifted in a nice way, as in my highly diverse Manhattan neighborhood, where there has been a quietly friendly, happy mood, discernible among people of all races, with nothing unpleasant or triumphalist being expressed. I am sincerely happy for my liberal and nonwhite fellow citizens’ happiness. This is one of the positive outcomes of Obama’s election which I predicted, and which may make it harder for some liberals and minorities to hate conservatives and Republicans, and thus remove some of the poison from American life and politics.

• However, some blacks will unleash the four year long O.J. Simpson acquittal sack dance which I also predicted and which I said could lead to a white awakening to racial realities.

Michelle Malkin reports on it:

There is a new national slogan/anthem catching on among America’s youth. It’s a popular rap song, a t-shirt, and a taunting chant.

It is this: “MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK.”

Malkin copies a letter from a reader in Cobb County, Georgia:

My senior at an upscale Cobb County Georgia (Newt’s old district) high school came home today in tears. Every black student at this school, where race isn’t usually an indicator of whether or not the teens are friends…they all get along and are for the most part, almost all college bound… was wearing their Obama t-shirts today. Many of them said, “My president is BLACK.” Many had Obama’s head printed on cardboard and waved them through the halls taunting the white kids with, “McCain sucks” and “F– McCain.”

Anyone who’d previously professed support for McCain is being taunted with “racist.”

My daughter asked the assistant principal what would happen if she came to school tomorrow with a t-shirt that said, “My president is white” on it. The answer was something like, “I’m with you, but there’s nothing we can do about it.”

Will Obama call on his young black supporters and their school officials to stop this racial-triumphalist and anti-white behavior, which completely violates what he supposedly stands for, or will he remain silent about it and thus condone it? In other words, will he be the pre-election David Dinkins who spoke about the “Gorgeous Mosaic,” or the post-election David Dinkins who allowed a gang of hateful black extremists to picket a Korean grocery for a year and who ordered the police to withdraw from black rioters in Brooklyn, thus allowing the Crown Heights pogrom and the murder of Yankel Rosenbaum to occur? We will see.
